Some have given me the name and number to contact Heal the Children in regards to helping Gerardo. I did and they responded. They do not have the ability to help with organ transplants. They did give me another organization to contact.
As it stands right now, we have an offer from a hospital in the states to bring Gerardo and a donor match to their hospital and they will do the transplant. They will cover the cost of the travel, hospital, and transplant. They just want a commitment from us to cover the cost of the antirejection meds, in the states, $1200 a month for the rest of his life. We have talked with the drs. here, they will work with us if he has the transplant in the states, and we would get the meds here. Still we have to find out if it is the same meds, if they are comparable, etc. And still we are waiting for the drs. here to start the testing process again for a donor. We have his biological mother and another young man that are willing to be tested.
Gerardo is still in the hospital. He is healing from the port surgery and still has high blood pressure.
We thank you for praying with us for Gerardo,
Paula
